Supreme Court of the United States

Wellness International Network, Ltd. Petitioners v. Richard Sharif — Alito, J., Concurring

May 26, 2015135 S. Ct. 1932

Summary

Justice Alito concurs in part and in the judgment, joining the Court's holding that a bankruptcy judge’s resolution of a Stern claim with consent does not violate Article III. He would not decide whether consent may be implied and notes the respondent forfeited any Stern objection by failing to raise it properly below. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Thomas, dissenting, argued that consent cannot cure an Article III structural violation.
